It Is Time For Action!

As we come into the first New Moon of the astrological year, we encounter powerful

energetic support for creating the life we want to live. This new moon occurs at a rare time in astrological history. The moon and sun will be in alignment with four planets – Mercury, Mars, Saturn, and Neptune. According to astrology expert, Pam Gregory, there will be a total of ten planets in the sign or Aries. All of this cosmic positioning will bring in an intense “tidal wave of energy” for the end of April. Being in a “five universal month” presenting change and opportunities, in this “one universal year” of new beginnings with the fire energy of the Fire Horse and Aries, this New Moon demands action. Are you ready? If you are not quite prepared, Spirit has some suggestions to take advantage of this energy to slingshot you forward in your spiritual alignment.
Self Care First and Foremost
Almost every client and colleague I have connected with over the last month is feeling stretched and stressed by the heaviness of the energy of the collective and personal challenges. Current world events are contributing to widespread fear, anger, and hatred. As sensitive lightworkers being sandwiched between these two streams of challenging energies you can experience extreme fatigue to say the least. As helpers and healers, we automatically want to reach out to serve others who are experiencing the negativity of the collective.

However, Spirit is advising that we make ourselves a priority. Repeatedly when I am working with someone, Spirit has shown me the visual of putting your oxygen mask on first when in a crisis situation on an airplane. The pressure from the collective energies as well as from deeply buried old personal wounds coming up to be released, can be analogous to a crisis. Spirit’s simple logic is that by helping ourselves first, we will be better equipped to serve others. We will not have the distraction of our own “stuff” to deal with. We will have the energy, tools, and gifts from lessons learned to utilize when helping others.
I am not saying that we have to have a clean slate and be fully healed with extraordinary gifts before we can help others. Spirit is only saying that we should pay attention to those issues that are coming forward now as it will be in our highest good to address them. Everything happens according to Divine timing so if we are paying attention, we will be given the optimum timing to clear out old baggage.
Final Chance to Let Go of Old Baggage
You all know that, as with any new beginning, we need to release what no longer serves us so that we can move forward. In order to take advantage of the momentum these next weeks can provide for us, we must release all the parts of ourselves that no longer feel in alignment with who we are becoming, with our purpose. So many people, and you will know if this includes you, are experiencing challenges physically, emotionally, and spiritually that may be reoccurring in cycles or have been deeply buried and are now resurfacing. This might include

chronic physical health concerns that just defy any conventional treatment. The body is drawing your attention to long held beliefs or old traumas that are asking to be released. Some are having unexplainable bouts of emotion that when explored further are tied to old traumas or “old ways of being” that our evolving selves just do not resonate with anymore. Some are starting to see patterns of behaviour that result in feeling stuck. They are asking to be released. Yet others may be experiencing a shutdown or change in the presentation of their spiritual gifts. Intuition may feel blocked. Old beliefs as barriers may be surfacing to be released.
So, clear the path for your progress forward. Ask yourself, “What old stories about myself do I still hold onto?” For example, do you tell yourself, “I will never be healthy. I just have to learn to live with this,” or “I have been depressed for years. I just cannot shake this,” or “I am just not intuitive. I never get signs from Spirit.” Ask yourself, “Are those stories really true?” How do you feel when you examine those stories? Do they feel aligned with your hopes and dreams? Do they bring you joy? If not, then it is time to change your story. Remember you are a powerful Soul having a human experience. Find the core belief, the root trauma, from this life, a past life, or passed down through your ancestral lineage. Work with your inner child and higher self to release those roots and free yourself to rewrite your story going forward. Reach out to those who can assist you in doing that if needed.
Riding the Wave
The energy we are coming into is intense and immensely supportive of manifesting what we want. Therefor, it is extremely important to have a clear vision of where you are headed. Focusing your thoughts and feelings on what you want your life to look like will align you with the energy of that reality. Think and feel where you want to be in your life by the end of the year. We are moving towards what some describe as the “golden age” or the “new Earth.” It will be a time where we are living in a higher vibrational state, where we live in a peaceful, loving, abundant world where there is a unity consciousness versus separation that gives rise to conflict and competition.

The planetary energy of this time supports radical fundamental personal change that can be permanent. Those core beliefs that were released can be replaced with ones that serve your highest good. Your intuition will be heightened making it easier to follow the guidance of Spirit in aligning with your purpose. Dreams will become more vivid giving you a taste of what you can manifest into reality. The higher vibrational energy of Aries will give you the courage to take action and to stand in your sovereignty. You will be able to be the leader in your life, keeping thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions positive and in your highest good. This month’s energy will also give you the clear thinking and ability to create structure as well as commitment and motivation to work towards your long-term goals. So, once you have “cleared out the baggage” ride the wave of this energetic momentum to move forward on your path, to move into your authentic self aligned with your purpose.
The energy this month may feel supportive, but it can also contribute to the intensity of the collective energy. According to some Spiritual “gurus,” more people will be waking up, financial markets will continue to fluctuate, and Mother Earth will be experiencing more upheavals as well in the coming weeks. It will be very important to put that oxygen mask on whenever you start to feel off balance. Implementing practices such as time in nature and meditation will help you stay grounded. Being part of a supportive, like-minded community can also help. Practicing gratitude for the beautiful things in your life and staying heart centred will keep you aligned with your authentic self. Holding the boundaries you created when you released what no longer served you will continue to help. Giving yourself grace and the time to have moments of stillness will allow you to continue to tune into your intuition, your spiritual team so they can continue to guide you.
You Have the Power
We are entering a time of huge healing for ourselves and others. Change will only occur

through action. You can transform how you think, feel, and act which will bring you to an increased level of consciousness. As you come into your power you can change the collective. Your light and your example will show the way for others. As more begin to “wake up” and come into their power as Divine beings, the tide will change in the trajectory of the future of the planet. Allow the Aries energy to give you the courage to move forward, to believe in yourself, and be the leader in your life. This is a month of many opportunities for change. Are you clear on your goals, on your path to your authentic self? Are you ready to move forward into who you are becoming?
Sending you love and light,
Marilyn
